Hello Nancy
So it says; "A child of the masculine gender, son of Manuel de Sousa de Azevedo and of his wife Maria da Silveira, grandson (by his father side) of Manuel de Sousa of Saint Peter (it's a place in Topo) and his wife, Maria de Azevedo. (And By his mother side) Manuel Brazil and His wife Isabel Silveira from the freguesia and the Church of our Lady of The rosary of Vila Nova de Topo, Island of saint George. Born in March, and baptized a 4 de April of the year of 1839 (is this right?) in his house by need (because the child was ill, therefore it was needed to be baptized at home for emergency) and because the child died witauth being given The Exorcisms according to the (Episcopal) law of the Pope Paul V." So, I am guessing that the child died, without being baptized, so there is no name in the beginning. The child probably got seriously ill, and the priest was called to give the baptism and give the last sacraments to a child, but died without being christened. Therefore, he coul not proceeds to obey the rules of The church, rules stipulate by The Pope Paul V. I hope I helped. Any more questions, I am here. 2008/10/13 nancy jean baptiste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Greetings Group, > > I noticed a baptismal record that stands out because of its > differences.......could someone clarify it for me? > > > On the CCA site for Sao Jorge for the Topo baptisms.......1828.....page > 235....the second one.....what does it say?
